Snake hair stick carved from bone or wood. Snakey's undulating curves insure she stays entwined in your tresses ready to charm all who meet her sweet gaze. Great hair fork for belly dancers and Medusa Goddesses.
Length is 6 1/2 inches.
Bone and wood hair sticks are nice and strong, I have used them for years. But their nemesis is being dropped on hard tile floors. Also somersaults.
Please note these are sold by the piece. If you want more than one choose the quantity from the drop down menu.
The bone starts out quite white and I have soaked these in tea to create a light antique stain bringing out some of the detail. If you want to go darker just soak in a stronger tea brew, black coffee is also good. All the bone is cow bone, ethically sourced, just the remains from those who choose to eat meat.
The wood choice is sono wood, rich and dark and sometimes showing subtle grain.
New - natural bone with no antique staining. This choice is a bone white and you can always tint it later if you desire.
The more the merrier, multiples create a stunning Medusa effect. Also good for handfasting favors and belly dance troupes.
Stunning mixed with my new crescent moon Priestess Picks:

Like all of my pieces, Snakey was born on the drawing board. Meaning I spent time drawing many, many snake versions until I was happy with all her curves. Also meaning ~ Please don't use my design work. I do not give permission for this design to be sold anywhere else on etsy.
As you can see from the photos, the backside is flat, the front is carved in detail.
Again, one side is flat, one side is curved.
I'm just going to mention this one more time here - the back side is flat.
If needed we can arrange a wood hair stick that is hand carved on both sides. The price is double to hand carve both sides, since it's double the work and the materials. Please message me if you'd like to order a special stick carved on both sides. We can't offer the bone in a round shape due to the limitations on the thickness of the material - it becomes less about doubling the price and more about the quest for an exceptionally thick piece of bone.
